- To cure, mix salt and sugar and set aside. Toast spices in a pan over low heat till you can smell the flavor, about 5 min. Mix spices with zest. Salt and sugar mix. Cover duck top and bottom with cure, cover and chill 24 hrs. To cook legs, submerge in melted duck fat or possibly oil with sliced citrus in a large pot. Bake at 275 degrees till tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hrs. Cover and set aside. If making ahead, keep duck submerged in its cooking fat, covered, and in refrigerator.
